Elmwood Park and Memorial Park

Two neighboring Midtown city parks: Elmwood Park, with a pavilion and playground, and Memorial Park, with war memorials and a rose garden.

Memorial Park is a tribute to service members who died or went missing serving in World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War. Visit Omaha describes monuments honoring those service members, and the park is accessible. It can also be reserved for weddings. A popular feature at Memorial Park is the All-American Rose Society Garden, which Visit Omaha highlights as a favorite spot. Roses are generally best seen in the warmer months, so a visit in late spring through early fall is likely to be the most colorful.

The park is also a place for reflection. These parks suit families, couples and anyone looking for a free outdoor break between attractions. They are easy to pair, since they are only a short distance apart. The City of Omaha parks site is the best place to check for current details, events and any pavilion bookings.
